[RFC PATCH v12 04/33] KVM: PPC: Return '1' unconditionally for KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU

Advertise that KVM's MMU is synchronized with the primary MMU for all
flavors of PPC KVM support, i.e. advertise that the MMU is synchronized
when CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE=y but the VM is not using hypervisor
mode (a.k.a. PR VMs).  PR VMs, via kvm_unmap_gfn_range_pr(), do the right
thing for mmu_notifier invalidation events, and more tellingly, KVM
returns '1' for KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU when CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE=n
and CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE=y, i.e. KVM already advertises a
synchronized MMU for PR VMs, just not when CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE=y.
